More on Living at home with Word 2013

I have found some things to like about Word 2013

• it allows a download of a free French dictionary so I can practise define words in French text instead of just going straight to translation
• there are other free English dictionaries to download and embed for definition (right click word to see)- Bing Dictionary is surprisingly good with extensive derivation notes: so good that I only go to my electronic OED for thorough research. This does not affect the automatic spelling dictionary that Word uses for editing.
• when I prepare meeting minutes that others send back with unmarked alterations, there is an inbuilt "compare" function that marks up the master text so changes  can be accepted or rejected in the orthodox way. At the office there are more sophisticated docu-comp programs but for home use this works well.

This list is small, but grudgingly I'm back to Word 2013

To make Word 2013's 50 shades of grey more bearable I have found a way to adjust my monitor using the Control Panel Gamma Management
